This is something that I have been struggling with on and off for a while.
Every now and then my desire has a hissy fit and locks up completely or just randomly re-boots.
What is the best way to diognose the reason behind this.
Should I be running a log cat constantly and if so which do people recommend .
Or is there another solution.
I am only after these log to try and get answers for the random restarts etc
Thanks

Thanks I will try the /proc/ *** that you have suggested. I assume I can run this in a terminal emulator.
I am overclocked but the crashes seem to happen at completely random times, sometimes during hravy use and even when the phone is just on my desk at work looking pretty.
I am also undervolted using incredicontrol but have on dropped the mv by 50 or so

Can I use that command at any time on a terminal emulator and are there meant to be any spaces in it as I have just tried it and got permission denied.
Guess I will have to play with the overclock and undrvolt and get something a bit more stable
Thanks for your help again........

Its a file path. If ever you see for linux based OS's, /something/somethingelse/someotherthing its a file path. For windows based OS's, its \something\somethingelse\someotherthing

Nothing to do with SD card. On the root of NAND, where you find /system, /data etc, you will also find /proc. If you browse there with say, root explorer, you can open last_kmsg which will open as text.
